An Explination

I guess i owe all of our friends an explination of where we have been and why you have not been updated with "first day of school" pics and everything else. We have had a crazy few weeks around here, what's new right.
So you know the story of the person who has the "midas touch" and every thing they touch turns to gold? Well this is similar to my story but my midas touch= everything i touch turns expensive. Somehow in the course of a month i have managed to break my camera, my computer, and my kiln. :) Bad luck i guess..... then Kirb got this horrible funk where he had 102-103 temp for 5+ days, on the day he finally started acting himself again, Roe got a fever.
Is this a joke you may ask, no no joke. Just they way things have been around here.
Well, my computer is fixed.... Thanks to Pops (THANKS POPS!!!) and i think i will be getting a new camera shortly. I mean i can't keep all of you guys up with what is happening in our lives without pics.

Bread

So, one unfortunate thing about Roe's allergies is that I have had a

really hard time finding bread that he can eat. It really shouldn't be an issue, bread really should not have dairy or eggs unless it is some special bread, but if you check out the bread selection at the supermarket you will find that all the breads contain SOMETHING that this fella can't eat. So I pulled out my Betty Crocker cookbook and sure enough the "Country Loaf" was perfect for Roe-roe.

Step 1

step 2

step 3

step 4

And ta-da 4 hours later we have bread.

Honestly it was good the first day, after that........ not so much, it smelled delicious though.

Then i went to the Art Market and found two local bakeries that make fresh bread without all the yuck, i think i may be going that route from now on.

Summer

We have had a very busy and very fun summer, but like most mom's, I am a little glad that it has wrapped up and cooler weather is around the corner.
Things around here have managed to stay busy.

A week at the beach

The week before school started we spent relaxing at the beach.

The boys loved playing in the sand and the ocean.

We made lots of castles, and found lots of sharks teeth.

I managed to get these cute pics before my camera broke. :(
